Today begins the enrollment/waiver process for health insurance. **Every** year, you must either enroll your Deac in our student health insurance program or request a waiver (or you will be automatically billed for our insurance). If you intend to waive coverage, we have to make […]
I’m thinking of our incoming first-year students today. Many of them are graduating from high school this week or next, and they are at the pinnacle of their K-12 success. They know who they are within their school. They have their friend group. They have […]
